My son wants to bring his lunch to school so i was wondering what are some creative ways to make a bag lunch? I want his lunches to be healthy. I don't want to make the same thing everyday.

How old is he and how adventurous of an eater is he?

My step-daughter, when she was in high school, was the best lunch packer in the world. She'd give me a list of stuff she needed, and from there she'd make creative fruit mixes, raw veggies with dip, rollups, wraps, etc, etc.

He's 5 and eats almost anything.

  • Sliced apples and little cups of caramel dip
  • Get thick skewers and make fruit kabobs
  • Pinwheel sandwiches - spread whatever in a tortilla, roll it up and slice into pinwheels
  • Instead of a sandwich, pack crackers and toppings so they can make their own snackies

School may consider that a possible weapon. :rolleyes:

Get some wraps and you can throw just about anything you want into them. Leftovers are great too. :yay:

Talk about taking the fun out of packing a lunch... :lol:

Okay, how about:

  • Organic soy milk sweetened with cruelty-free honey
  • Veggie burgers with quinoa and bulgur salad
  • Tofu dogs wrapped in pesticide-free cabbage leaves

Yum yum! Can't wait for lunch!

Good, lord, how many of them are there?? :lmao:

:shrug: Son said that only 1-2 had to sit by themselves but I think they had severe allergies where they have a reaction if even close to PB. The others can sit with everyone if theirs is only allergic if eaten.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

My son is in pre-school and they are peanut free! We cant even send anything that Little Debbies makes because on the back of each box indicates it may contain peanuts (even if it doesnt, it is still printed on the back of the package)! He cant even have regular m&m's because they are made at processing plants with peanut m&m's!

I have even been on a plane where they couldnt pass out peanuts because someone was allergic to peanuts and "peanut dust".

I can understand in preschool. They are tiny then, and having a friend who's child has SEVERE allergies, i know how much she worries. Even if a kid touches something, then her, she has a severe reaction. However, past 1st or 2nd grade the kids should be able to know what to avoid and to tell people that they can't touch stuff. And allergies that severe are so rare that making over an entire school is illogical.
